terrible news..
After almost 5 months of having my first car which i worked so hard for every dollar for.. it caught on fire today. A while ago i posted about an electrical problem that would cause my es to flicker on and off losing power completely. turns out something was wrong with my battery. car was cutting out so i pulled over to find it smoking out of the hood.. open the hood and what do you know? huge flame comin from the battery. my whole car burned up...
so now i have a feeling insurance is going to low ball it. I think i mightve gotten ripped off when i bought it so i need to find some listings of similar es300s at a high price. i bought it for 5600 and it had 187XXX before it burned but it was in amazing condition. I'm so sad right now..

Man, that is just awful! I really feel bad for you! What can I say but that I can only imagine how you must feel. If it happened to me, I'd be pretty damn devastated.
Sorry bro....
Keep us informed of what happens with your insurance...K?

Don't worry. I have a hunch you'll be smiling behind the wheel of another pretty soon! But you're right. We all tend to take things for granted until...well...something like this happens. Those pics are hard to look at!
